<h4>Chapter 862: Chapter 859: In This World, Connections Are Everything</h4>


    Xu Wendong chuckled and asked, "What does it matter to me who you are?"


    Qin Mian snorted coldly, "Listen up, my name is Qin Mian, and my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Households!"


    "You’d better kneel before me and repent, or with a single word, I can turn you into a stray dog."


    As soon as he said this, the house servant previously knocked away by Xu Wendong also strode over fiercely, "That’s right, my master holds a high and mighty position. Even the Elixir Sect Leader has to respectfully call him ’sir’ when meeting him."


    Smack!


    Xu Wendong pped that house servant again.


    This time, he struck so hard that the servant instantly fell into unconsciousness, blood oozing from his orifices, looking utterly miserable.


    "You’re courting death!"


    Qin Mian became furious, thinking that once he revealed his background to Xu Wendong, thetter would be frightened and beg for mercy.


    But he never imagined that Xu Wendong still wouldn’t take him seriously and even knocked his servant unconscious.


    He was filled with murderous intent.


    He struck his palm toward Xu Wendong.


    The strength of a Golden Core Stage Level 3 cultivator was undeniable, stirring up a terrifying gust.


    Which made the diners in the inn feel an almost suffocating pressure.


    "Get lost!"


    A sh of coldness appeared in Xu Wendong’s eyes as he kicked, hitting Qin Mian right in the chest.


    Phooey!


    Qin Mian, like a kite with a cut string, spewed blood and flew over ten meters before awkwardlynding on the ground.


    The scene fell silent.


    To the point where you could hear a pin drop.


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at Xu Wendong, including Jian You.


    Because no one expected Xu Wendong to be so bold, to publicly kick Young Master Qin of the Qin Family.


    Even having witnessed it, they could hardly believe what they saw.


    "Go quickly, you must leave quickly." Jian You was the first to regain her senses, looking anxious, "Qin Mian is the only son of the Qin Family, and having harmed him in public today, the Qin Family will not let this go lightly."


    She knew the influence of the Qin Family in Qingzhou, and even though Xu Wendong was just a disciple of an Elixir Sect elder, even if he were an inner chamber disciple of the Sect Leader, he couldn’t be protected.


    The only way to survive was to enter the secr world.


    Indeed.


    Even if Xu Wendong fled Qingzhou and went elsewhere, as long as he stayed in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, the Qin Family would find a way to catch him.


    "Besides Yama’s Pce, he can’t go anywhere!" Qin Mian stood up, hair disheveled, face dark, eyes shing with murderous intent.


    He never expected Xu Wendong to dare strike him.


    Especially considering Xu Wendong had only a Qi Refining Stage Level Nine cultivation level.


    The killing intent in his heart surged uncontrobly.


    If this were to spread, how could he retain any dignity in the capital city?


    He would definitely be the biggestughingstock among the noble families.


    "Die!" Apanied by a furious roar, Qin Mian spat out a yellowish sword qi from his mouth, a tiny sword emitting a dazzling light, shing toward Xu Wendong like an afterimage.


    "Do you think you can hurt me?" Xu Wendong retorted with disdain.


    He unleashed a punch.


    The terrifying True Qi, like a rushing river, instantly struck the short sword released by Qin Mian.


    Crack!


    With a crisp smashing sound, Qin Mian’s short sword shattered into countless pieces, falling in front of Xu Wendong.


    "How could this be?"


    Qin Mian felt his scalp tingle, as if he had seen a ghost, never expecting Xu Wendong’s power to be so terrifying.


    Even though his longsword wasn’t a magic artifact, it was refined from over a dozen rare minerals, capable of slicing through iron like mud.


    Yet now...


    It had been smashed by the opponent’s fist.


    For a moment, Qin Mian felt a thickyer of goosebumps rising on his skin.


    If the opponent were a cultivator with a higher realm, this might be eptable.


    But the problem was, this guy only had a Qi Refining Stage Level Nine cultivation level!


    How could a Qi Refining Stage Level Nine be so fierce?


    Not only Qin Mian, but the surrounding onlookers were also stunned; many could sense that Xu Wendong was not a Golden Core Stage cultivator.


    Logically, Qin Mian should have been able to easily defeat him; even if Qin Mian only had a Golden Core Stage Level 1 cultivation, he should still be unmatched by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.


    Yet reality was entirely different.


    In front of Xu Wendong, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Qin Mian was utterly no match.


    ’Pah!’


    Qin Mian spat blood fiercely, ring grimly at Xu Wendong,ughing with a twisted grin, "Xu, do you really think being good at fighting means you can challenge me, the young master?"


    "Let me tell you, in these circles, it’s not about how hard your fist is, it’s about whether you have a strong backing!" With that, he decisively took out a cyan messaging token, "Brother Ding, I’ve been attacked at Zhaixing Building,e quickly with your men!"


    After sending the message, Qin Mian raised an eyebrow at Xu Wendong, giving him an amused smile, "Just wait, you’ll soon pay dearly for your mistakes, you’ll regret crossing me!"


    At this moment.


    A thunderous voice came from outside the window, "Who is so bold, daring to attack a minister’s son at Zhaixing Building?"


    Instantly.


    A middle-aged man in azure armor, with a curved de at his waist and a strong build, flew in directly through the window.


    His brows were furrowed, his eyes ring, exuding an overpowering presence.


    Especially with his cultivation level at Golden Core Stage Seventh Level, he was a top expert in Qingzhou.


    Outside the window were ten other middle-aged men in azure armor, all without exception at Golden Core Stage realm.


    Their eyes were sharp, exuding a chilling aura.


    Seeing these people appear, everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly.


    The reason being, these people were the renowned Azure Dragon Guards of the capital city.


    They held the power over life and death.


    Seeing the Azure Dragon Guards, Jian You waspletely panicked; this had far exceeded her expectations.


    In that moment, a bad premonition rose in Jian You’s heart.


    She was somewhat regretful, thinking that if she had forgiven Xu Wendong earlier, he wouldn’t have pursued here, and this perilous situation wouldn’t have ensued.


    Qin Mian addressed Ding Sheng, "Brother Ding, it was this person who hurt my subordinate and wounded me. He sees no one in his eyes; he must be captured and imprisoned in the Sky Prison to let him know the consequences of opposing the Imperial Court!"


    Qin Mian wasn’t thinking of killing Xu Wendong directly; that wouldn’t be satisfying enough. He wanted to have Xu Wendong captured and sent to the Sky Prison so he could control his life and death.


    Making it so he couldn’t live, nor could he die!


    Ding Sheng looked at Xu Wendong expressionlessly, his eyes cold as knives, "Young man, were you the one who hurt Young Master Qin and his servant?"


    Jian You’s face was anxious, "Senior, it was a misunderstanding..."


    A glint of coldness shed in Ding Sheng’s eyes, "Did I ask for your input?"


    A single nce made Jian You shiver internally, the illusion of suffocation almost overwhelming her.


    Ding Sheng turned to Xu Wendong, his tone heavier, "Answer my previous question."


    Xu Wendong responded calmly, "It was me!"


    "Since you’ve confessed to your crime,e with us!" Ding Sheng ordered, "Arrest him and lock him in the Sky Prison!"


    "Yes!"


    At that moment, a resonant voice rang out, "Let me see who dares to take away Young Master Xu!"
